Severed Foot Caught In Bumper

LONDON - A hit-and-run driver struck a motorcyclist and drove off with the man's severed foot stuck in his front bumper, police said Saturday.

Lancashire Police said the victim, 36-year-old Richard Sholl, was riding a Honda motorcycle through Blackburn, northwest England, on Friday when he collided with a gray Volvo that pulled out in front of him.

Sholl's left foot was severed in the collision, and remained wedged in the Volvo's bumper when the driver left the scene.

The 23-year-old car driver, who has not been identified, later called police after he noticed the foot in his bumper. He was being questioned Saturday at Blackburn police station.

Sholl's leg was amputated below the knee at Wynthenshaw Hospital in Greater Manchester.

People like this should be locked up...

answer: NEVER

nevermind that it was a motorcyclist that was hit that guy still pisses me off. One time when I used to drive a bus a guy rear ended me while I was stopped at the train tracks and I pulled over them and to the side of the road thinking he would follow but he just took off. So I followed him and got his plate number and its not hard to tell a jeep in the dark so they were at his house almost immediately and arrested him and he said it wasn't him. yet he was so drunk and there's a completely totaled jeep sitting in his driveway probably still smoking and leaking whatever coolant it had left.

Why do stupid people think they can get away with something like that. Its like you hit a guy, stop and make sure he doesn't die if he's not already dead. Why do people have no sense of decency?
